I've traced my problem tracks too - it was a couple of multi-track flacs of radio recordings, without tags and without accompanying CUE files. I've given them some temporary tags in order to get past that error, and have now set the analysis going on my whole library. I don't see how this can be related, but even running from the top level LMS folder, the analysis now seems to be using ~300% CPU and ~40 threads, so should be fast. I imagine it'll slow down considerably once it starts tackling tracks that are defined by the CUE files - I'll report back. chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116068 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Understood. There does seem to be something inconsistent about the CPU allocation though. I've now re-run the analysis 7 times, once on each of the 7 top level folders underneath my LMS music path (by specifying the path to each folder in config.ini), and only the 'Lossy' folder ever achieves the impressive 500% CPU load. The other folders achieve no more than ~150%. And as noted above, if I specify the same path as defined in LMS, even with the other 6 folders excluded via .notmusic, the Lossy folder only occupies a few percent. Having now tried all 7 folders, I've at least identified the one that causes the 'No tags found!' error. But am I right that the terminal output reports the last file successfully analysed, rather than the one that failed? Each time I run the analysis in this folder it fails at a different point. I guess I should wait for your next release to be able to track which files in particular are causing the problem. PS. Do you have the facility to compile for Apple silicon? I noted in Activity Monitor that bliss-analyser is an Intel app, which means it's running under Rosetta on the M1 Macbook.

I've just restarted it with the path set specifically to that 'Lossy' folder, and it's started up with ~500% CPU and ~30 threads, so clearly it's going to complete faster. I wonder if it's something to do with the way the tasks are split between the available cores. Does the core allocation happen before the folders are skipped due to .notmusic, or afterwards?

I'm currently re-running the analysis with every folder except 'Lossy' excluded via the .notmusic method.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Bliss DSTM mixer
I've been giving this a try while I look forward to a version that
handles CUE files. I have around 6500 tracks that are in individual
MP3/OGG/M4A files, with traditional tags. I'm getting some inconsistent
issues with the analysis phase.
I have a separate 'Lossy' folder within my music folder for these files,
so I started off by analysing just this folder. I realise that I need
to eventually run the analysis on the same root folder as defined in
LMS, but I just wanted to have a play on a subset of my library.
I used the 0.0.2 build for macOS, running on a 2021 M1 Macbook Pro. My
music library is on an ext4 SSD attached to a pCP Pi4 and accessed from
my Macbook via samba.
When I first ran the analysis on this 'Lossy' folder, it zipped through
6414 tracks in 16m 30s: a rate of over 23k tracks per hour, which I was
quite pleased with, given that the files are being accessed over my lan.
So then I changed the path in config.ini to start one folder level
higher, i.e. the same folder as specified in LMS, in order to include
everything else ('Lossless', 'DVD Rips', 'Spoken Word', 'HiRes' etc). I
renamed the bliss.db so that the analysis would start again from
scratch. The analysis didn't find many extra files (6665 versus 6414
previously), but it slowed down considerably, even while apparently
working in the 'Lossy' folder, and it crashes each time I run it. I
repeated it several times, each time deleting the database for a fresh
start, and I seem to be getting errors in different places. I've had a
few "thread 'main' panicked at 'Error: No tags found!',
src/tags.rs:33:50", and the file number is different each time. I've
even had a "Segmentation fault: 11", again at a different point in the
analysis. In each case, the most recent file analysed, according to the
terminal output, is something in the 'Lossy' folder that worked
previously.
I'm curious what could be causing inconsistent/different failures. Does
the analyser pick a different/random section of each track each time?
My next step will be to exclude folders from the analysis with
'.notmusic', to see if I can find some pattern.

Yeah, I've not been very good with specifying genres, mostly because (until now) I haven't really had a need. Maybe this plugin is the incentive I need to go back and be a bit more rigorous. Easy enough with CUE files :). But am I right that the plugin should still find similar tracks in my collection - I'll simply be unable to confine the search within specified genres?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Bliss DSTM mixer
Hi Craig
Thanks for working on this, despite the feature apparently only getting
one vote!
I couldn't see the option to attach files to a PM, so I've attached a
zip file to this post. It contains 5 CUE files, all of which work in
LMS. They've been produced by a variety of means (XLD, EAC, and an
Audacity plugin for vinyl rips). They include some albums that are just
discrete tracks (Nathaniel Rateliffe, A Night At The Opera, Tattoo You)
and some that have 'gapless' tracks (Abbey Road, Gershwin). The Tattoo
You CUE file is a really stripped out file - just the titles and start
indexes - but the others contain a variety of CUE options, such as
Replay Gain tags, and a couple that I'm not sure of the purpose of
('ISRC USC4R1503359', 'FLAGS DCP').

I read through the announcement post, thinking "Finally, a similarity plugin that seems simple enough for me to understand"! But then I got to the part about bliss-analyser not dealing with CUE files. Most of my library is in the form of CDs ripped to a single file with a separate CUE file. Given your statement that Bliss seems to create better mixes for your collection, I'd like to give it a go, but I'm not clear what my best option is. It appears that I can analyse with MusicSimilarity then convert the output to a Bliss database for use with this Bliss DSTM mixer - is that correct? Is there a Mac M1 binary for the MusicSimilarity analysis, or should I use the python script, and can that script be configured to do only a Bliss analysis? chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116068 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

The installer isn't connected to the startup script - I think the mechanism for that is still TBD. If the startup script was hosted, say, on your site, then the installer script could fetch it. To make it run at boot, use the the pCP web interface - go to the 'Tweaks' tab and scroll to the bottom. You can add up to three 'User commands'. They're executed in order.

Feel free to work your own magic on the scripts - you clearly know what you're doing far more than I do! Yeah, the BusyBox version of unzip doesn't like tgz files, and the BusyBox version of tar doesn't like zip files :( Code: tc@pCP:~$ unzip -o ngrok-stable-linux-arm64.tgz Archive: ngrok-stable-linux-arm64.tgz unzip: short read tc@pCP:~$ tar -x -f ngrok-stable-linux-arm.zip tar: invalid tar magic So unless someone can suggest a built-in utility that can cope with both I think we're stuck with having to use both of those utilities.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] 'MediaServer' *certified* Alexa skill for LMS
I've improved the ngrok_installer script a bit. As well as a bit of
tidying up and clarifying, it now has the option to override the 32-bit
or 64-bit auto-detection, primarily in case the auto-detection fails
because of the rather weak, non-future-proof, detection rule.
I tried the 32-bit version on a 64-bit pCP ('-v 32' argument), and ngrok
seemed to work ok.
I tried the 64-bit version on a 32-bit pCP ('-v 64' argument), and the
extension loaded, but ngrok failed to run, obviously.
For now, auto-detection is the way to go, but in future, if pCP reports
something other than 'v8' for the 64-bit version, use the override: -v
64.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] 'MediaServer' *certified* Alexa skill for LMS
This script should download the 64-bit ngrok binary, convert it to a tcz package and make it load on boot. To use it, create a file 'ngrok_installer.sh' in your home directory (/home/tc aka ~), paste the lines of the script into it, and make the script executable (chmod +x ngrok_installer.sh). Then simply run the script (./ngrok_installer.sh) and reboot. Once the Pi reboots you can type 'which ngrok' to see if it has installed. It should show a single entry '/usr/local/bin/ngrok'. Everything else in the home directory should have been tidied up by the script. The script itself will even have disappeared unless you did a 'backup' before rebooting. Code: #!/bin/sh # download ngrok and convert to installable package, so that the executable is placed into /usr/local/bin # setup some path shortcuts packagename=ngrok workingdir=~/$packagename rootpath=$workingdir/usr/local/bin tgz=~/$packagename.tgz tcz=~/$packagename.tcz # create folder structure mkdir -p $rootpath # fetch ngrok tgz - N.B. may need to check path to this file in case it changes in the future wget https://bin.equinox.io/c/4VmDzA7iaHb/ngrok-stable-linux-arm64.tgz -O $tgz # extract the ngrok executable into the required part of the folder structure tar -x -f $tgz -C $rootpath # download and load squashfs-tools tce-load -w squashfs-tools.tcz tce-load -i squashfs-tools.tcz # create the ngrok package mksquashfs $workingdir/ $tcz # tidy up rm $tgz rm -Rf $workingdir/ # move the ngrok package to the tce/optional folder TCEMNT="/mnt/$(readlink /etc/sysconfig/tcedir | cut -d '/' -f3)" mv $tcz $TCEMNT/tce/optional # add ngrok.tcz to tce/onboot.lst sed -i '/^ngrok.tcz/d' $TCEMNT/tce/onboot.lst #remove all previous ngrok entries, to make sure it's only listed once echo $packagename.tcz >> $TCEMNT/tce/onboot.lst I've tested this on a fresh pCP install, and also on a machine where ngrok was already installed, and seems to work ok. You don't need to change any of the path variables at the start of the script, but if you do, TAKE CARE, because in the 'tidy up' section of the script it will recursively and silently delete everything in $workingdir/ This also worth keeping in mind if you DON'T change the path variables, and you already have a folder called ~/ngrok.

On an older Pi, with a slow SD card, it would probably take longer. That extra 20s goes against the 'ethos' of pCP, which is to have a small, light, and very fast system, regardless of hardware. Including the ngrok executable in the backup didn't seem to cause any other problems, but as a pCP user it's something I'd personally want to avoid. Your shell script seems like a nice idea. I looked at the links to the binaries on the ngrok site (e.g. https://bin.equinox.io/c/4VmDzA7iaHb/ngrok-stable-linux-arm.zip), because a wget command would be better than downloading it to a computer and then uploading to the Pi, but all those random characters in the link give the impression that it might not always be the same link. Aside from that, the shell script could download the binary, build the tcz, create the yml file, and also personalise the startup script, which could be included in the tcz. chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111016 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

One reason that Paul- was reluctant to make an ngrok package is "Binary re-distribution licensing is not clear", so I guess you'll have to figure out if that's something you want to do.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] 'MediaServer' *certified* Alexa skill for LMS
Understandably, Paul doesn't want to include the ngrok executable as a package in pCP since it appears to be closed source. So pCP users have a choice of where to put the ngrok executable: 1) Place it in /home/tc/.local/bin Pro: This will mean that it's in the executable path so can be invoked without supplying its path. Con: It will be included in the user's backup whenever pCP is backed up, so the backup will be large and slow. 2) Place it in a folder on another drive, such as a third partition on the boot drive, e.g. /mnt/PCP_DATA Pro: This will be permanent storage, so won't be included in the user's backup Con1: This approach requires there to be another mounted partition, and it has to be reliably available and when the ngrok command is invoked at boot Con2: This location will not be in the user's executable path, so the path to ngrok will have to be specified whenever it is invoked. 3) Make your own 'ngrok.tcz' package so that the executable is loaded by the system at boot. This is the 'best' option if you are comfortable with the steps below. Pro: ngrok will be available in the executable path without it being part of the user's backup Con: Making the package involves a few more steps (below), but they're straightforward, and 'do-and-forget'. Steps for making ngrok.tcz: 1) Make this folder in your home directory: cd ~ mkdir -p ngrok/usr/local/bin 2) Obtain the ngrok binary from https://ngrok.com/download. Look for 'Linux (ARM)' for pCP 32-bit or 'LINUX (ARM64)' for pCP 64-bit Extract the single binary file from the download and place it in the folder you've just made, /home/tc/ngrok/usr/local/bin Your method for placing ngrok in that folder will depend on the tools you use. For instance, FileZilla will allow you to upload the file from your computer to a destination on the RPi 3) Install the squashfs-tools.tcz extension from the pCP 'Extensions' page 4) Make 'ngrok.tcz' with: cd ~ mksquashfs ngrok/ ngrok.tcz 5) Copy the resulting ngrok.tcz to the 'tce/optional' folder with: cp ngrok.tcz /mnt/mmcblk0p2/tce/optional If you have booted from USB, the 'tce' folder will be at a diffrent mount point, so replace 'mmcblk0p2' with your 'root' partition, e.g. 'sdb2' 6) Edit the onboot.lst in the tce folder to include ngrok.tcz e.g. use 'vi' on the pCP, or the linked file editor in FileZilla 7) Backup and reboot your pCP. After rebooting you should now have the ngrok executable in /usr/local/bin. Type 'which ngrok' to check. 8) Assuming that works, remove the ngrok folder and the ngrok.tcz from your home directory to minimise the size of your pCP backup. cd ~ rm ngrok.tcz rm -Ri ngrok/ # the -i option will prompt for every deletion. Check that it's doing what you expect before answering 'y' Finally, backup pCP again, otherwise those deleted files will come back after a reboot! chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111016 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] [Announce] 'MediaServer' *certified* Alexa skill for LMS
Well indeed both of those details were worth investigating. 1) ngrok can be run as root by simply including the path to the yml configuration file with the --config option, e.g.: Code: ngrok start mediaservertunnel --config=/home/tc/.ngrok2/ngrok.yml > /dev/null 2>&1 & I guess the script could have that option included in another variable, but for a standard pCP user who has carried out the authorisation as user 'tc', that /home/tc/.ngrok2/ngrok.yml file is fixed. This option means the whole section of the script that determines which user is calling ngrok is redundant. 2) It is quite simple to create your own .tcz package that just includes the ngrok executable, to be placed in /usr/local/bin/, and to have this package loaded at boot. The result is that ngrok is available in the user's executable path without taking up any space in the user's backup and without the need for an extra mount point. So since it's now in the path the startup script doesn't need to point to a specific copy of the executable, so Code: $ngrok_exec start mediaservertunnel --config=/home/tc/.ngrok2/ngrok.yml > /dev/null 2>&1 & becomes Code: ngrok start mediaservertunnel --config=/home/tc/.ngrok2/ngrok.yml > /dev/null 2>&1 & I could detail this process for the pCP-specific setup instructions, but I think it would be simpler to ask one of the pCP guys to make ngrok available in the standard repositories so that it can be installed like any other extension.

philchillbill wrote: > Great to hear. Ill add pCP instructions to the website so that others > can benefit from your pioneering spirit [emoji41] Thanks again ! Thanks. There's a couple of details that I'd like to check in the script before it should be considered definitive. 1) There's a bit in the script to force ngrok to be run as user 'tc'. When called at startup the script is called by user 'root', and I found that it didn't work in that case, hence the workaround to force it to run as 'tc'. In hindsight I suspect it might just have been that 'root' didn't look in /home/tc/.ngrok2 for the yml file, so it may be enough to simply specify the full path to the yml file. Then it wouldn't matter which user executes ngrok. I'll test that later. 2) pCP runs entirely from ram, so the 'tc' user's home directory is also in ram. Any files included in the tc's home directory must be backed-up to an archive, so that they can be reinstated after a reboot. It's desirable to keep that archive file small - if nothing else the backup process takes an annoyingly long time if the home directory has a lot in it. I started off by copying the ngrok executable to /home/tc/.local/bin, but since it is quite big (~25MB), I was finding that backups were quite slow and were triggering a warning from pCP. So I moved it to somewhere else permanent (I used a third partition on the boot drive, which is stored on the drive itself, not in ram, so isn't part of the backup). I suspect it might be possible to put it somewhere else on the root drive so that it gets loaded into ram at boot time, and doesn't require another mount point - maybe the 'tce' folder on the root partition. But I've never played with that, and I don't really know how the 'optional' and 'on demand' folders work - how I should make a 'tcz' package and make sure it loads into the executable path in ram at boot. If any of the pCP folks, or anyone else who knows how this works, is watching, any advice would be welcomed. chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111016 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Thank you - yes, curl is not in the basic pCP distribution, although it
is available as an Extension package in the pCP repository. But it
certainly makes sense to use wget instead of curl in this case, because
the whole lot will then run without the need for any additional packages
- no python, no perl, no nothing - just the ngrok executable and the
script.
I'll apply your suggested changes to my script.
Given that adding this to pCP doesn't require much to be installed, I'm
planning to move it to one of my other Squeezebox-related pCP devices so
that I don't have to keep a separate one running.

Thanks for the explanations. Is it possible the backticks aren't

# make sure ngrok is started by the authorised user, i.e. 'tc'. When run as
a user command at boot, the user is 'root'

Oh that's useful, thank you. I'll give it a try if I get past this
linking script.
For some reason, your script doesn't work as is. I'm getting a "Fail 4
[Badly-specified URL(s)]". I changed your single quotes to the upright
ones " ' ", and then I'm not sure the command even runs at all - RES is
empty.
I'm getting confused with all the different types of quotation marks and
brackets, but I think I managed to construct the command as intended and
execute it, but I get "Fail 2 [Data JSON parse error]". I suspect the
'data' bit is wrong, but I don't understand what the combination of
curly and square brackets is supposed to do. My command looks like this
(with the sensitive bits overtyped with 's):
Code:
wget -qO-
https://smartskills.tech/linking/updateNgrok.php?uuid=x=[{"name":"false","url":".eu.ngrok.io"}]
Any chance you could put me out of my misery and show me an example of
that last wget command exactly as it should be issued?

I'm still hacking my way around to get a feel for what needs to be done
to get it working and then redone after a reboot. So far I have it set
up such that pCP runs a script at startup (via the built-in 'User
Command's' tweak) e.g. /home/tc/.ngrok2/ngrok_startup.sh, which starts
ngrok and then finds the URL via that curl command. grep in Busybox
doesn't have the -P option, but I can get to the url with a bit of
awking:
Code:
curl -s http://localhost:4040/api/tunnels | awk -F"https:// {'print $2'} |
awk -F" {'print $1'}
I haven't attempted to make it a service, because this User Command
script seems sufficient - I can run the script manually if I ever need
to run it without a reboot, but since this is RPi3 is currently
dedicated to ngrok only, a reboot is fine.
I haven't got the python script working yet - it's failing at 'import
requests' and I can't see whether that, or json or urllib.parse, are
included in any of the python packages that are available for pCP. To
be investigated later if necessary.
I have installed the Alexa app on my iPhone and MediaServer is one of
'my' skills, and seems to have linked successfully, but since I don't
have a device yet I can't test it any further. And I also can't tell
what the final step of the python script should be doing, once it's
recovered the url. Maybe I can do that too with simple shell scripting,
but I need to find out what the python would do first.

Just in case it's not widely known, if you have iPeng running then Siri can do some basic actions with LMS. "Hey Siri, skip track" is one of the three things I ever say to Siri :). Very useful if I'm cooking, say, and playing a Spotify-generated playlist where I don't like the current track. (The other two are "Hey Siri, xx minutes", to set a cooking timer, and "Hey Siri, where are you?", on the off-chance that I've left my phone face-up somewhere.

Thanks mrw. I do remember your promising post about the DSP filter coefficients. If processing power in the Radio is the issue, then tweaking those filter coefficients in the hardware seems like a useful alternative. I'm sure the Radio has an admirably flat response curve, but I'm not afraid to admit that I'm not a big fan of a flat response curve in all situations! My own personal preference with most audio devices is to try and cut the mid range a bit compared to the bass and (especially) the high frequency components. I believe this is called the 'Rock Smile' :-) The Boom and the Radio seem to have the same driver units (the bass driver certainly, not sure about the tweeter), but to my ears the Boom can be made to sound a lot better, by boosting the bass a little and the treble a little more. I'm not sure what's involved in using Ghidra, but if a Boom would be any use to you in seeing what's been done in its DSP then I'll happily donate one to the cause - just PM me if you want one of my 'spares awaiting refurbishment'. chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113479 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

This is brilliant - I'd followed the development thread, but had decided to wait for this type of release. I just installed the community firmware on a UE Radio, and so far it's working perfectly. So is it too early to start asking for feature requests? I'd really appreciate a basic tone control - maybe something like the 'treble/bass' settings in the Boom. Or better still, the ALSA 10 band Equalizer available under pCP. Are either of those possible? Have the various obsolete features that have been removed created enough space to do something on those lines? Even if there's no UI on the Radio itself to control the settings (i.e. LMS or SSH configuration only), it would still be worth having in my opinion. chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113479 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Thank you - got it now. I thought I'd followed the steps, but at one point my phone told me that it couldn't install the shortcut because it's from an untrusted source - but it seemed to skip past that when I clicked 'Add to Siri'. That was clearly the wrong thing to do. In their infinite wisdom Apple don't let you see the option to allow untrusted shortcuts until you first install and run a shortcut from their gallery. I'm slow to criticise Apple, but that's just dumb, sorry. So after allowing untrusted shortcuts, I was able to complete the installation as intended. It's working well now.

But even in that case, why would you have headphones on while the DAC is playing - you'd inevitably be in the same room as the DAC. Maybe 'either/or' would simplify things. I did add an option to select which player gets the visualisations, and it seems to work ok, but in all my testing the named players have had their MAC addresses changed numerous times, and LMS did get a bit confused - playlists swapping between players etc. This might be a 'feature too far' after all. Perhaps the best approach would be to just let the user select whether squeezelite plays on the internal interface OR the external interface. It would still use most of what I've coded, but the interface selection would be a radio button group instead. chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110175 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I'm not sure there is a 'perfect' strategy when there's a choice of player configurations; Internal, or External, or Neither, or Both, and when either player can be started or stopped at any time.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] How to enable visualisations in Jivelite?
It took me a while to figure out that jivelite gets its MAC address from the eth0 interface, whereas I was giving squeezelite the wlan0 MAC address. Fixed that now, and now I have the visualisers working. So to answer my own questions: - If I start jivelite while a visualiser-enabled player is running on the same MAC address, then the visualisers work. - If I then switch to my other squeezelite instance (MAC address differs by 1), then I get the visualiser options in the 'Now Playing Views', but they don't work. I guess jivelite has already decided to use the shared memory offered by the first player. - If I switch to a completely different (hardware) player, the visualiser options disappear from the 'Now Playing Views'. So now I just need to decide on a strategy for assigning the jivelite MAC address to the most appropriate squeezelite instance. Or maybe I don't - I am doing this to be able to *avoid* a Joggler-based player after all! chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110175 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] How to enable visualisations in Jivelite?
Thanks Ralphy My two instances have adjacent MAC addresses - I simply add 1 to the final segment of the hardware MAC address to get the second MAC address (unless it's 'FF', in which case I subtract 1), and then I use the lower of the two MAC addresses for the internal interface. Maybe I need to adjust that policy (e.g. so that a single instance always uses the hardware MAC address, and if there are two instances then the first one enabled gets the hardware address). But I wonder if that matters. If jivelite doesn't check again after the first check, what would happen if I start jivelite when a visualiser-enabled local player with the right MAC address is running, then switch to a visualiser-enabled local player with a different MAC address? In that case would jivelite attempt to use the shared memory offered by the second player? Presumably, if I switch to a different player altogether (e.g. a hardware player), while jivelite thinks visualisers are enabled, they would simply not work due to the lack of shared memory, but would that crash jivelite perhaps? Time for some experimenting I think. Clearing the Lua settings is the important step before I start. chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110175 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] How to enable visualisations in Jivelite?
I had a quick look in the NowPlaying applet, and I guess the problem is
that Jivelite is not identifying my local instance of squeezeplay as a
'local player', so the visualiser options aren't enabled. So what is it
that identifies a player as 'local'? An instance of squeezeplay running
on the same device as jivelite should surely qualify, but do I need to
force it to be recognised somehow?
Code:
-- style names are grabbed from the skin
-- this list is compared against the settings.views table (if any), and
certain views are disabled as specified
-- further, if the player is not local and the view is local only, don't
allow that in the returned table
function getNPStyles(self)
local npSkinStyles = jiveMain:getSkinParam("nowPlayingScreenStyles")
-- visualizers are only available for connected local players, so only
include them in that case
local auditedNPStyles = {}
if not self.player then
-- don't give any options if not connected to a player
else
local settings = self:getSettings()
local playerId = self.player:getId()

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] How to enable visualisations in Jivelite?
Mystery solved. I deleted all the object files and reissued the make command with the '-DVISEXPORT' option, and now my squeezelite binary includes the VISEXPORT build option, and the -v command line option is present. Next mystery - I'm not sure where the visualisations option(s) should be. If I start squeezelite with the -v option, and then start jivelite, and select the squeezelite player, shouldn't I see a visualisations option under 'Settings' > 'Screen' > 'Now Playing' > 'Now Playing Views'?

d6jg wrote: > In SqueezeOS Visualisation only works when a Joggler is also a player. I > dont think you will ever get Jivelite to visualise unless there is a > running player on the same hardware. My original reason for building Jivelite on the Joggler was to have the controller part of Squeezeplay without the player part, since I personally didn't have a need for the player on the Joggler, and its presence (on a couple of Jogglers) was just cluttering up my list of players. I'm pretty much there with the Jivelite build, so my original objective has been met. But I've also added the option to have Squeezelite running on the Joggler as well to cater for cases where this might be useful - separate instances are possible on the internal (analogue) and external (USB) interfaces, and I've made an applet to set up and control these instances. So when either of those instances is running I think that would meet the conditions necessary for visualisations - there should be the necessary shared memory available. I'm puzzled why the visualisation option doesn't appear to be included in my Squeezelite binary, despite the make option apparently selecting the necessary object file. chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110175 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

[SlimDevices: Plugins] How to enable visualisations in Jivelite?
I've been working on a Jivelite setup for a Joggler. I thought I'd have a go at building it to support visualisations. I set an environment variable: Code: export OPTS=-DVISEXPORT Then I deleted the earlier binary and reissued the makefile. I noticed that output_vis.o was now included in the binary. Code: root@openframe:~/squeezelite# make cc main.o slimproto.o buffer.o stream.o utils.o output.o output_alsa.o output_pa.o output_stdout.o output_pack.o decode.o flac.o pcm.o mad.o vorbis.o mpg.o output_vis.o faad.o -lasound -lpthread -lm -lrt -ldl -o squeezelite r But when I try to start jivelite with the -v option, I get the usage statement (meaning that -v isn't recognised), and sure enough it's not listed as one of the options. The build options at the end of the usage statement show Code: Build options: LINUX ALSA EVENTFD So evidently something else is needed to get the visualisation option into the build.

Ooh - tricky question. I don't think I'd know where to start! I see a lot of devices being sold on on eBay, but I'd guess that most end up connecting again with their new owners. So the total number of hardware devices probably isn't going down very fast. On the contrary, probably the pCP/Max2play/etc devices are growing in number faster than the original hardware is dying. But I would have no clue how to estimate that number.
